Update On Oopsie

Being that I forgot to reverse my lettering yesterday, and didn't realize it until I saw the picture on my blog, I had to re-do the whole thing. I went searching on google for a way to reverse lettering in Word 2003, and apparently you can't. Woe is me.You can in newer versions, but I can't walk you through that. So. I put my thinking cap on, which promptly melted [it's 93F, no a/c] and scanned my printed pages into my computer. I then opened them in paint, flipped them horizontally, and saved them as a png file. I copied and pasted the png files into another word document, and lo and behold, it worked.

And for some strange, bonus reason, the print came out darker than the original - no light box needed to trace these onto fusible web!

Isn't that a lovely compensation for the extra work. I'd trace them tonight, but I had used up all my fusible and need to get more tomorrow.I don't think I ever showed you this quilt, it belongs to my friend Shirley, and was made by her husband's aunt many years ago. I think it's interesting that what is old is new again - I'm seeing these quilts made new everywhere. Lovely, isn't it?

Loveley quilt. I thought you might have simply have to flop the original letters over to get it right, untill I red you printed them on fusible web.... Great that at last you succeeded to get them out of your printer the right way. I am curious how your letter quilt will turn out.Kind greetings, Conny

Good job working it out! I probably would have driven myself crazy and wasted a ton of time tracing the letters on the back of the paper so they'd show up reversed......;). I'm not too techno savvy, nor do I have the patience! Love the Grandmothers Flower Garden quilt. Always has been a favorite of mine. XO

Love that quilt, so pretty. I'm picking up old printed sheets now at local estate sales to try to get enough for a small quilt to try. Inspired always by these posts, Dear. Great hint from Susan about using WordArt, too. Have a great week.

I liked that you used the word charity instead of love. That King James Version was my Dad's favorite version and I have good memories discussing this with him. 93 and no a/cEgads woman, how are you holding up????? Holy smokes. I love your friend's quilt, the aqua makes it for me!!! Hugs and hugs and stay cool,Mickie
